[XFS] Fix double free of log tickets
When an I/O error occurs during an intermediate commit on a rolling transaction, xfs_trans_commit() will free the transaction structure and the related ticket. However, the duplicate transaction that gets used as the transaction continues still contains a pointer to the ticket. Hence when the duplicate transaction is cancelled and freed, we free the ticket a second time. Add reference counting to the ticket so that we hold an extra reference to the ticket over the transaction commit. We drop the extra reference once we have checked that the transaction commit did not return an error, thus avoiding a double free on commit error. Credit to Nick Piggin for tripping over the problem.
